New: Introducting Low-Bandwidth VoIP with Forward Error Correction (FEC)

Vobal is introducing VobalFEC: a VoIP service optimized for low-bandwidth Internet connections with high packet loss and jitter. The solution uniquely supports analog telephone adapters (ATAs) with FEC, which compensates for packet loss to ensure high quality calling. The total bandwidth utilized is approximately 16 kbps, including media and packet overhead in both directions combined. Standard VoIP for ATAs utilizes about 48 kbps total and will sound worse under packet loss. Click here for more information and a free trial.
